From the article “Sea levels near Greenland, for instance, could fall because its ice sheet has a strong gravitational pull that raises the local sea level. If the ice thaws, the water level will sink.”. Interesting, never heard this before. Is it true?

This past summer, NOAA quietly issued a report recalibrating the satellite records of sea level rise over the last 20 years, and ended up with a net result of 1.3mm/year, which amounts to 5 inches per century. This new lower estimate is still slightly higher than the amounts that would be expected from the heat-content measurements of the Argo project and the mass change estimates of the GRACE satellites. Why no big headlines?
